CHICAGO (May 22, 2014) – The 2014 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup will feature live coverage of the third-round matchup between the Dayton Dutch Lions of USL PRO (Division III) and the NASL’s Indy Eleven (Division II) on Wednesday, May 28, at Carroll Stadium in Indianapolis.

U.S. Soccer is broadcasting one match during each round of this year’s Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup, the 101st edition of the tournament, which features a record 80 teams. Earlier in the event, ussoccer.com covered PDL side Western Mass. Pioneers’ 4-1 victory against Mass Premier Soccer (USASA) on May 7. That was followed by a Richmond, Virginia, derby in which USL PRO’s Richmond Kickers earned a 6-1 win against the NPSL’s RVA FC on May 14.

Indy Eleven, about to play its first-ever U.S. Open Cup match, is an expansion side in the North American Soccer League and plays its home games at Carroll Stadium on the campus of Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI). Indy Eleven sold out its first four games at home with an average attendance of more than 10,500, but the club is still in search of its first NASL victory.

The Dayton Dutch Lions opened their U.S. Open Cup campaign in the second round with a 2-0 win against Schwaben AC (USASA) on May 14 in Buffalo Grove, Illinois. Dayton has had recent success in the competition, advancing to the quarterfinals in 2012 after beating Major League Soccer’s Columbus Crew in the third round. The Dutch Lions were eliminated from that tournament by eventual Open Cup champion Sporting Kansas City.

In other tournament news, several third- and fourth-round games have had date or venue changes since they were originally announced. The changes are shown below, along with the full schedule of matches for both rounds.
